Everything you need to engage and inspire young minds to learn about online safety

Children now are more digitally savvy than ever before. At this age, they’re starting to discover what the online world has to offer even more, so it’s important that they’re taught how to navigate content safely and make sure they have the awareness to raise anything they’re not sure about from a young age.

Purposely developed to make life easier for teachers, our lesson plans for year 2 provide you with everything you need to engage and inspire young minds to learn about online safety.
